Though most others -- Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter -- wrote primarily for the Broadway stage, Carmichael wrote only one musical and it was a flop.

Though most others - Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter (a fellow Hoosier, from Peru) - wrote primarily for the Broadway stage, Carmichael wrote only one musical, and it was a resounding flop.

He was influenced by Irving Berlin and Louis Armstrong, he venerated Duke Ellington and George Gershwin, yet his own music was sui generis.

He was deeply influenced by Irving Berlin and Louis Armstrong; he venerated Duke Ellington and George Gershwin; yet his own music was sui generis.
And... scene!

Good work, KK.
This is not a case of plagiarism.
It's proof of double entropy, parallel existence of the exact same energy, manifest at different intervals on a linear plot.
Any evidence that could be considered contradictory to the above conclusion could be placed within an envelope of space time, to be rendered of no use in this plane of existence. This is traditionally thought to be the place where Einstein kept his comb.
Huzzah!

Oh. My.
Goeglein plagiarizes sui generis, head explodes from irony feedback loop.
Mr. Murder's absolutely right. To me, the fact that two separate people could write almost identical passages at separate time periods is just proof of how right those words must be. Carmichael's one musical must really have been a flop.
The blog posts write themselves ... mine sure did! http://cynicsparty.com/2008/02/29/white-house-jesus-freak-in-chief-caught-plagiarizing/

I sense the work of a noodly appendage.
I'd say that this is not a case of plagiarism.
Rather, it's proof of double entropy, parallel existence of the exact same energy, manifest at different intervals on a linear plot.
One man's opinion, natch.
Aw hell, cut the guy a little slack. What he did wasn't so bad!
You've done some good investigating here. It's really a service to your country. And I always say, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Pretty catchy, huh?
Wow, Mr. Murder sounds a lot like William F. Buckley: Total bullshit, but sounds really good.
Goeglein is not denying it's plagiarism, indeed it is central to his point!
The words are identical, to be sure. But this is not plagiarism, but something more. It is a creative re-imagining, a retracing of an earlier writer's work. We must think of Goeglein's work as analogous to Jorge Luis Borges' "Pierre Menard," who rewrote Cervantes' "Don Quixote" so completely that every word appeared in the exact same order as in the original.
At least that's how I'd try and excuse it if I were him.
You? Never!
